Who am I? Challenge Game

[Powder]

Correct on all accounts.

And yes he was tending bar where all the actors, real arm wrestlers, and some pro wrestlers, including Scott Norton, went to to drink, and they suggested he might have a career in wrestling.

I don’t have anything planned so I’ll open up the floor to whomever wants to jump in

[BK-097]

Don’t know if anyone is checking in here but what the hell I’ll post a series of clues:

1) I am a two sport athlete winning gold in several territories and achieving gold elsewhere in the sports world
2) I was brought back for my final run in the WWF after some time away via a series of vignettes.
3) My sporting background played a part in my finishing move.

[Team Farrell]

Jim Duggan?

[BK-097]

It is not Jim Duggan

[Team Farrell]

Is it Bob Backlund? He was an NCAA Champion, won territory titles, was brought back as Mr. Backlund which I would assume featured a series of vignettes and the crossface chickenwing is an amateur move.

[BK-097]

No sir. I’ll add a new hint.

1) I am a two sport athlete winning gold in several territories and achieving gold elsewhere in the sports world
2) I was brought back for my final run in the WWF after some time away via a series of vignettes.
3) My sporting background played a part in my finishing move.
4) It took a real life transgression to turn me face on the national stage.

Patera?

[BK-097]

Yep.

won gold in the territories and at the Pan Am games
brought back to the WWF after time away (in prison) via vignettes
used the full Nelson which played on his strength as a power lifter
was a heel for a long time, but when he came back after prison they made him a face

It was clue 4 that did it for me. Thanks for bringing this back.

1, strong majority of my mainstream wrestling gimmicks were animal related to different degrees
2, i was a producer before I was a wrestling star
3, in a couple of ways, I was associated with ultra violence
EDIT
4, I did have a sports associated/adjacent gimmick at one point (when I was producing, by the way), but after that ended I found the gimmick that would last me the rest of my career.
5, WCW, WWF, ECW, WCW, ECW, WWF/WWE, TNA

[BK-097]

It’s Scott Levy right?

[PEN15v2]

You got it.

Scotty Flamingo, Johnny Polo (a sport involving horses), and Raven. Was a producer on Monday Night Raw as Johnny Polo, but obviously became a star with the Raven character.

[Team Farrell]

Oh son of a bitch! How did I not get that.

[PEN15v2]

My guess is the producer clue. I didn't know until just this week that he had that role during his time as J Polo.

[BK-097]

I was sitting back on that one because somehow I failed to see how Johnny Polo had any relation to animals (obviously I didn’t have my thinking cap on) but as you added more and more clues I didn’t see who else it could be.

1) I was almost part of an extremely over and well know team from the territory days.
2) I had a heated feud with a former partner that spanned across territories.
3) I was involved in a segment that included physicality with an almost untouchable announcer.
